Knitted hoodie, pattern
5,36 €
The hooded sweater is knitted from the neck down. It has raglan sleeves. First the yoke is worked – then the stitches for the sleeves rest on a stitch holder while the body is finished – ending with a ribbed edge with slits at the sides – Italian bind-off. Then the sleeves are worked from the shoulder down – finishing with a rib edge and Italian bind off (you can also bind off plain if you prefer). The neck is raised and worked with the German short rows method. Finally, stitches are picked up at the neck edge and the hood is knitted on. An i-cord is worked around the neck and the edge of the hood. It can be omitted – but it gives a fun finish and decorates the hood. The I-cord is knitted in a contrasting color, but you can also choose to knit in the same color as the sweater.
The yarn is “Easy Care” from Mayflower and there is a strand of “Super Kid Silk” also from Mayflower. The work is worked with 4 mm circular needles and 3.5 mm (for ribbing). It can be knitted in sizes small – 3XL
The grey version is knitted in Viking eco highland wool tweed. If you use yarn other than the pattern indicated, you should always make sure that the knitting tension is right. But equally, you need to have converted the yarn in the running length – so that you get the same number of meters of yarn for the project and that you are sure that you have enough yarn. This means that if you need 1500 meters of original yarn (an example) – then you must make sure that you also buy 1500 meters of yarn in the new yarn alternative.
Size: S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) Measure your chest measurement and choose your size from there. The sweater should have some room to move (approx. 15-20 cm) and not be too tight.
Yarn consumption 8 (8) 9 (9) 9 (10) skeins of Easy Care Merino from Mayflower. Running length 185 meters per 50 grams.
Also 1 skein of Easy Care Merino contrasting color for the edges of the hood/neck.
Linen – 8 (8) 9 (9) 9 (10) balls of ‘super Kid Silk’ – from Mayflower.
Running length 195 meters per 50 grams.
Waist/chest measurement 112 (118) 123 (130) 132 (137) cm
Full length – center back – from neck down: 61 (63) 65 (68) 71 (75) – buy some extra yarn if you want your hoodie longer. You can also knit it shorter – if you wish. Measure yourself and decide the length.
Needles: 3.5 mm and 4 mm circular needles – 40 and 80 cm.
If you are using double-pointed needles for the sleeves, you will also need these – otherwise you can use the magic-loop technique with circular needles.
Knitting tension: 20 stitches in stockinette stitch on 4 mm needles = 10 cm in width.
If the gauge doesn’t fit, change to a larger or smaller needle and measure again – gauge means you are knitting the right size with the right measurements and is important for the finished piece.
Finishing the rib edges: This is done with Italian bindings – find a video on YouTube – there are many nice ones. The closure gives a really nice finish. You can also finish in other ways – I just think the finish is beautiful.

Women’s knitted hoodie – comfort meets creativity
There is something very special about a knitted hoodie. It combines comfort, warmth and personal style in a way that few other garments do. Whether you’re new to the knitting world or a seasoned enthusiast, there’s good reason to throw yourself into a knitted hoodie as your next project.
A knitted hoodie is perfect for everyday wear, cozy days at home or as a layer under the winter jacket. It’s not just a piece of clothing – it’s a handmade statement.
Why choose a knitted hoodie?
There are plenty of ready-made clothes in stores, but nothing beats the feeling of a homemade knitted hoodie. When you knit your hoodie yourself, you can customize it according to your style, preferences and fit.
A knitted hoodie also has the great advantage that you can choose from a multitude of colors, yarns and patterns. That way, you can get exactly the look and comfort you want.
Create your own unique style
When making your own knitted hoodie, you can experiment with different details: maybe a hood with a drawstring, pockets at the front or ribbed edges in contrasting colours. Your hoodie will be unique – and it shows.
Knitwear in women’s size
If you’re looking for a women’s size knitted hoodie, then it’s a good idea to find a pattern that takes female proportions into account. Many patterns are adapted specifically for women’s size, which means that you get a better fit and a better result. It’s not just about measurements – it’s about the hoodie feeling right, both in cut and expression.
How to choose the right pattern
A good pattern is essential when knitting a hoodie. The recipe guides you step by step so that you avoid frustration and get a finished product you are proud of. It is important that the pattern suits your level – if you are a beginner, choose a simple model. If you’ve been knitting for years, you can throw yourself into a more advanced knitted hoodie.

Tips for customization
Once you have a good pattern in hand, it becomes a breeze to create your own knitted hoodie.
Materials for your knitted hoodie
The choice of yarn plays a big role in the result. A knitted hoodie can be made of cotton, wool, alpaca or blended yarn – depending on the season and desired comfort.
Choose the right yarn
For a winter-friendly knitted hoodie, you can choose a strong wool blend. It provides both warmth and structure. For spring and summer, a light cotton blend can be the perfect choice. Remember to check the pattern – it usually recommends yarn and needle size.
Knitted hoodie as a gift
A knitted hoodie is a personalized gift that will undoubtedly be appreciated. Especially when you knit in women’s size, you can create a beautiful and functional gift for a mother, sister or friend. It’s not just the hoodie itself that is special – it’s also the thought and time behind it.
Make it personal
If you want to make the gift even more personal, you can add small details: embroidered initials, favorite colors or a small pocket with a button. The possibilities are many, and a homemade knitted hoodie is something that is not just hidden away in the closet.
Tips to get you started
Throwing yourself into knitting a hoodie can seem like a big project, but with the right pattern and a little patience, you’ll quickly get into the rhythm.
Make a swatch
Always start with a gauge swatch. It may not be the most exciting, but it ensures that your knitted hoodie gets the right size and fit. Yarn and needle size can affect the knitting tension a lot.
Use markers and notes
When working on a pattern for a knitted hoodie, it can be a good idea to use stitch markers and write notes along the way. This makes it easier to follow the pattern and keep track of decreases and decreases.
Inspiration for your next knitted hoodie
There are countless patterns and variations, so it’s just a matter of finding the model that best suits your style and needs.
Popular trends right now
Currently, oversized models, textured pattern knits and natural colors are very popular. You can also consider a cropped version of a knitted hoodie, which goes perfectly with high-waisted trousers or skirts.
Make it a joint project
If you have friends or family who also knit, you can make it a joint project. Knit your own version of a knitted hoodie and share experiences and tips along the way. This makes it both more fun and more motivating to reach the finish line.
Knitted hoodie – more than just clothes
A knitted hoodie is not just a garment. It’s a project you put time, love and creativity into. Whether you knit for yourself or someone else, the result will be something very special.
When you choose a good pattern and work from your desired women’s size, you don’t just create a hoodie – you create a personal expression and a piece of clothing that can last for many years. And perhaps most importantly: you get the joy of having made something from scratch.
